Comedians Explain The World

Singaporean comedy duo Ministry of Funny (Terence Chia and Haresh Tilani) chat with Priyank Mathur about the country’s delicate balance between freedom and government control, how local politicians are learning to embrace humor, and whether owning a pet cat in an apartment is or isn’t legal in Singapore (hint: it isn’t).

Swiss comedian Hazel Brugger joins host Priyank Mathur to discuss the surprising link between Switzerland and far-right extremism, Switzerland's delicate relationship with the EU and what it's like performing comedy for the world's most neutral audience.

Malaysian comedian Harith Iskander joins Priyank to discuss the Game of Thrones-level political intrigue playing out in Kuala Lumpur right now, the police investigation of a local satirist, and why in spite of all that, Malaysians haven't lost their sense of humor.

From the rise of right-wing politics to farmers protesting in the streets to new online censorship rules – India is undergoing some pretty major changes. Indian comedian Sapan Verma joins host Priyank Mathur to discuss how the journey of Indian comedy in many ways mirrors the country's profound transformation.
